“An archive set in a distant future poised with a retrospective and archaeological orientation, inquiring into the origin of the artifacts. The artifacts are supposed to have vanished, and efforts made to recreate its history through imaginative readings only uncovered recently. The artifacts are literally rebuilt by relics and fragments, casting a shadow on the reality and authenticity. In turn brings opportunity to introduce fiction in the process of history making.”
